virginia goes for biden. 13 electoral votes to go biden. at the electoral college map count. right now biden has crossed 200. he has 205 electoral votes. right now trump has 114. 270 needed to win the presidency. let's take a look at the key race alerts. arizona right now, look at this. 76% of the estimated vote of arizona is in. biden is ahead in arizona by more than 207,000 votes. 53.6% to 45% for trump. let's go back to john king right now. arizona. 200,000 vote lead right now. with that number, that percentage of votes in, that's significant. >> it is indeed. that's 2016. let me come back to 2020 through my time warp. it is a flip, right? it is a traditionally red state so you'll be more cautious before you call it. we want to wait and see. you're up to 76%, a 207,000 vote lead. this is the bread and butter of arizona. 60% of the vote, maricopa county. just shy of 800,000 votes. 54%. let's go back and take a look. hillary clinton, 702,000 votes. this time, 798. 96,000 more votes and we're not quite complete here. what does this tell you

joe biden.richard ben cramer writes about your brother as a child and said joey was always quick with a grace born of cocky self possession. he didn't like some kids his age double think himself. once joey set his mind it wasn't like he thought at all. he just did. >> the more serious he set his mind to do is he stuttered terribly and he really couldn't string more than three or four words together at a time and he determined that he was not going to be defined by stutter. >> teenage boys can be pretty harsh, even cruel, and he used to get teased a lot. they called him stutterhead. for short they called him substitute. >> so the summer before joe biden's junior year poetry helped him lose his stutter. >> i would do poetry to try to say meek young man grow up in libraries. >> that's emerson. >> yes. and the reason i did it was to try to get a cadence to how you speak. when you're able to change the cadence of what you do and say it seems you can overcome it somehow. >> i think all of us were surp

jill biden.e prouder to congratulate kamala harris for her ground—breaking election as our next vice president. under circumstances never experienced, americans turned out in numbers never seen them once every 30 is counted, president—elect biden and vice president—elect harris will have won an historic and decisive victory. sojoe biden has won the race to become the next president, defeating donald trump by following a cliffhanger vote crank. here is nick bryant with a profile of the president —— count. he has one of the most electrifying smiles in us politics. joe biden has fulfilled his personal american dream. he is about to become the occu pa nt of dream. he is about to become the occupant of the white house. this former vice president was the candidate who offered softjazz after the heavy metal of the trump yea rs after the heavy metal of the trump years was that easy listening moderation. a presidency americans could have on in the background. eight years of donald trump could fundamentall

chanting biden harris. holding up signs that now they have walked more than 30 falk's out of times square and we're with them the whole time and it's been remarkable seats because as they're walking through. the streets of new york city people that are in their businesses people that are in their apartments and people that are having late lunch at outdoor patio as are all getting up and clapping chanting and cheering them on as they move down through that city. it just shows you how important that young people were in this election the black lives better movement that was really fueled on the streets by young people and how. it was so important for the fight in an harris campaign but bottom line is we've seen in credit for. going to incredible signs people holding signs saying i'm proud to be an immigrant other people holding signs saying we will be back in the pair's climate accord and others saying your fire in reference to donald trump so this is certainly a scene of celebration happening all over new yo

the iraq war joe biden did libya joe biden did it. a genocide in yemen joe biden prosecuted whistleblowers joe biden kicked 5100000 families out of their house in a similar economic decline when he had the chance joe biden open the arctic to drilling twice whenever a shot i'll ask joe biden took us from 2 wars to 7 joe biden made the banks bigger i get joe biden bill cages that they're putting immigrant children in joe biden gas them at the border joe biden bombed muslim countries for 8 years straight which is why there is a muslim rhetoric refugee crisis at the airports and the only time the american people cared is when donald trump banned muslims at the airport they never bothered to ask themselves why are there refugee muslim refugees at the airport because barack obama joe biden just bombed them for 8 straight years so the idea that joe biden is the antidote to donald trump when he has a worse record to head out of a drug is a mental gymnastics games that people have to play in their head because they can't stand donald trump bei

that will help joe biden. you have rural counties around the state that i think are going to help trump as they come in. and so, again, that's why when you look at maricopa county, which is, again, by far the biggest -- and we thought this update from maricopa was potentially going to cover just about all of their remaining vote. i think there is still -- again, i think there's still probably 40,000 votes that are still left to come from maricopa county. so, you know, again, there's the potential here for biden to gain in pima county, for trump again to make a gain in maricopa county on par with the one you just saw. if the one you saw happens again with the remaining vote in maricopa, that could come down to 14,000 or so. again, it could go up a little bit with pima county. and with the rest of the state, you could see trump reducing it further, you know. it's tight. get it inside 10,000. does he get it to zero? >> i'm not sure. okay. stand by. let's check in once again with rich fitzgerald in pennsylvania. i

joe biden got 31,433. so the good news for donald trump is with that addition to the vote, he gains on joe biden statewide. but we keep saying this every time we get one of these updates. we know that trump is going to close ground with biden. is he going to close enough ground to overtake him statewide? to do that, he's got to be getting about 60% of the outstanding votes because i mean this is a big chunk of what's left to come. we just got 70,000 votes reported out here. trump got 54.9% of the votes that were just counted out. that's good, but that is not the good pace that he needs. that's not good enough for trump from a pace standpoint if that makes sense. it's a 29,861-vote lead that joe biden has statewide in arizona right now. of all the remaining votes, we say trump coming into tonight needed to be winning on average 60% of them. so the question when we got this update from maricopa, this giant update that just came in a minute ago, was trump getting 60% or more? if so, okay, maybe he's got a dec

the bidens again knew this.g access to joe biden which he was, then joe biden has to be involved to some extent because he is the only one who can make something happen. elizabeth: all right. david webb, thank you so much. come back soon, david webb, okay? good to see you. >>> up next nfl football legend herschel walker is back with us. we'll talk to him about the frustration about the silent majority, the quiet americans not liking them attacking trump protesters, even biden supporters don't like what is going on in streets of america too. neither side wants possible election night violence. everybody is asking where is the america of january 2020? will this frustration, how will this frustration hit the vote tomorrow? herschel walker next. it's still warm. ♪ thanks, alice says hi. for some of us, our daily journey is a short one. save 50% when you pay per mile with allstate. pay less, when you drive less. you've never been in better hands. allstate. click or call for a quote today. allstate.

joe biden may now be president—elect biden, but it has by no means been an easy road for him.rted, but what's less well known is that joe biden spent the majority of his childhood overcoming a stutter. the former vice president has been more open recently about the condition, saying it still impacts him now. his story has inspired many other who stutter, including brayden harrington, who met him on the campaign trail, and was also giving the opportunity to speak live to america at the democratic convention earlier this year. hi, i'm13 hi, i'm 13 years old. withoutjoe biden, i wouldn't be talking to you today. about a few months ago, i met him in new hampshire. he told me that we were members of the same club. we... s starter. it was amazing to hear that someone like me became vice president. that was a fantastic speech. i'm delighted to say that braden and his dad join us 110w. say that braden and his dad join us now. congratulations on that speech. second, you talked about your club. 0ne second, you talked about your club. one of the members of your club is 110w one of the me

they view joe biden as one of them. dr. jill biden is from this area. they are celebrating that this count from philadelphia is what put him over the top at this point. jer george, we're still watching to see as the ballots come in. we're looking for the magic number of about 34,000. that would put biden ahead of a possible recount here in pennsylvania. he's not at that point yet. >> eva, thanks. let's go to pat toomey. senator toomey, thanks for joining us. joe biden has pulled ahead. do you think the president still has a chance in your state? >> he does, george. there's certainly still a path for the president. it's an extremely narrow lead. we have to remember this process goes beyond the first vote count. for instance, in pennsylvania we know there are some minor irregularities. those will have to be litigated. there's been a terrible lack of transparency in the philadelphia vote counting process. we have a rogue state supreme court that unilaterally decided to rewrite election law to allow ballots without a postmark to be counted days after the el

he was for biden actually. a moderate republican for biden. 52 for trump. 47% for joe biden.ou go back in time to four years ago, again, we had the third-party candidates did better. that's one of the stories of this year. the third-party candidates did not do as well. the president won it by two points, three points if you round up there. back in here. it's about the same. maybe a little bit more of a trump lead. the question is where are the rest of those votes? here's what you have to do. remember, the reason we need patience to get through this process, everyone has to remember three different kinds of votes this year. people who voted by mail, they tended to be especially in pennsylvania disproportionately democratic. we know that from the data. people who >>> and the election day vote, this is one of the states you have to gi the president credit and the trump campaign for the late rallies. those are super spreaders, mean in turning out votes on election day, it worked for the president. he was behind just like in 2016. the trump rallies did bring turn out. the question

i think biden because he thought the case against trump kind of would make it solid biden was not aggressive about pressing his own message he did not have a coherent economic message if you look at florida florida by referendum overwhelmingly approved a $15.00 an hour minimum wage that's something that joe biden supports and that's what it donald trump opposes but joe biden did not run television ads about the 15 hour minimum wage joe biden talked about i mean i and i don't believe you ever ran any ad words and a lot of them for inserting it acknowledged by and into the nation's congress is that because he said he was scared that that would frighten off you know the suburban right wing voter that he seemed to be caught and was that always a problem when public opinion kept showing up in irony for medicare for all and for a social safety net and so on yeah i don't actually think these are unpopular with sobre i don't think the new voters that hillary and biden and that you don't need a new term elections brought into the democratic party are a verse to issues like the $15.00 minimum wage exp

the best buy's president barack has ever had mr joe biden. and he resigned to never quite reach in the nation's highest office until donald trump came along that's why the dam announcing my candidacy for president of the united states. as you know we have to with this decades of experience biden said he was the man to restore america's standing in the world that he was the man for the moment i'll be a president will stand with our allies and friends and make it clear to our adversaries the days of cozying up to dictators is over he promised a sure leadership in the midst of the coronavirus condemning. it's estimated that nearly another 210000 americans could lose their lives by the end of the year anough no more. let's just set partisanship aside and the politics and follow the signs. alternately the voters agreed and made joseph biden the $46.00 president of the united states of america. time lucky. well he is all over it is in biden's hometown of wilmington delaware all over when can we finally expect to see joe biden well we're waiting for

, joe biden has the last laugh. what will the transition look from one administration to the next. >>> all right. good morning, this is "early start." i'm christine romans, and i'm laura jarrett. about 29 minutes past the hour here in new york. no concession, no problem. a biden transition official tells cnn that we're preparing for a new administration is moving full steam ahead. despite president trump rejecting the election results, biden's top priority, coronavirus, and with good reason. there were nearly 106,000 new cases yesterday in the u.s. the last five days in the u.s. are the five worst days anywhere in the entire pandemic. >> that's right. 43 states now are adding cases, exactly zero are seeing cases decline. hospitalizations in the u.s. now climbing toward a new high point for the pandemic. president-elect biden appealing to the entire country for help. >> refusal of democrats and republicans to cooperate with one another is not some mysterious force beyond our control. it's a decision, a choice we make

they impeached donald trump to distract from what joe biden and hunter biden and biden crime family wereoing we know it now. they have 1,000 probably more than 1,000 times the amount of evidence and corroboration against hunter biden against joe biden himself then they ever did against my family before they started the russia hoax and that they went with for four years. they're still talking about it as, though, it is real. they're still prepgding it is a real thing. even though it has been totally, totally cleared. they did that for this now they have 1,000 times that on the guy that could be the president of the united states. he could be beholdened to china, russia all of those millions of dollars that putin associate, hunter -- we've never seen corruption like this he makes hillary clinton steam like she's a kid in kindergarten in terms of corruption. and no one is to know about it. it's actually really sick jesse everything we know and love about america is at stake in this election because if they, win big tech will do this unchecked able to assign you suppress your free speech sup

i think he's written most of the words that biden has spoken, written words biden has spoken, with bidens i think part of the message discipline of this campaign. even when it was hard during the primary was because of their relationship and mike's brilliance. and that has paid off tonight. and he deserves to get some credit. >> before we get to van's oscar nomination speech. >> it's coming. >> it's coming. i just want to say, what we're hearing from the trump white house is that the president is willing to concede if certain conditions are met. the answer what conditions, that he is comfortable that he has run the race through the tape, which is that this race was conducted fairly and that they've pursued all of the allegations and all you need to do is pick up your phone and you'll see allegations and allegations and allegations. his legal team is telling him they have a case. so the president is going to follow through with that. but i think the idea was sugges other day that we're going to have to transport the president out of there, that's just ridiculous. but time is going to be n

joe biden understands that. he's said throughout the campaign he understands that, and it's going to be job number one for him to bring this country back together. >> it'll be hard to figure out. joining us now mayor keisha lance bottoms of atlanta. mayor bottoms, it's glad to have you joining us during this really incredible moment in history. measure the moment in your thoughts right now. >> oh, i'm getting very emotional that this day is here. looking at what i call my biden book, the last second i wrote in here of 19 that i'd endorse joe biden and i felt very vulnerable. and the reason i felt so vulnerable is it didn't make sense to support him at the time with what i knew, and i didn't know him well at the time that he was a good man. and looking at my children and the excitement and how they erupted when this was announced really just validated what i knew then that our kids were watching us, and they were depending on us to get this right. and my children have -- and this is a man who has a heart who can

this is something that the biden team knew. this is something that the biden team was prepared for. they've been working behind the scenes for weeks meeting with health officials. in fact just last week vice president joe biden and senator kamala harris met with health officials about the pandemic. today, as you mentioned, the president-elect is going to be revealing more details about that 12-person coronavirus task force that he has put into place. he's going to be giving statements later today about what his plan is going to be to move forward with the pandemic and how to deal with the pandemic. that will obviously involve things like more of a national sort of plan to test people in this country, increase testing in the country. so, this is the number one priority set forth for this new incoming administration, and it's a very tall order. >> yeah, it all sounds incredibly encouraging, but realistically, jason, how much can the president-elect achieve in the next 72 days while he waits to take office on january 20th? >> well, look, it's a good question. obviously there are a grea

joe biden is leading here. joe biden is leading here. and joe biden is charging here.resident's leading but that lead is in dire danger. the president leading. that lead is in even more dire danger at this moment. there are more votes, actually, here. if you're doing a statistical -- a statistician would tell you that one's probably at greater risk than that one given the trajectory, i mean the math at the moment tells us this one could flip quite soon. >> he's got a lead right of 2500 votes. 2,497. that could change at any moment right now, and biden could take the lead in georgia. >> right. again, this is in some ways this is just a simple math exercise. what did we learn first? addition and subtraction. arithmetic. 57. 5726, right? joe biden gets 80% of those votes, then guess what? you're going to see this state flip from red to blue. then we count the rest of them. it could flip back. but this universe of votes alone in this one county, make sure this is not on. there we go. right here. >> clayton county. >> right here. clayton county. we have more than 5,000 vote

. -- joe biden that way.e's going to try to resist that, but he'll have some backup because that's not realistic, that will never get through a republican senate if the republicans do hold on to that senate. we have two runoffs that will happen in georgia. katie, bar the door, those are two very important elections, everybody's going to be trying to win them. sandra: and now, of course, big questions over what this legal battle looks like. we were told that the president just left the golf course a short time ago, the motorcade was heading back to the white house. we probably will get a look at that shortly, but he's been pretty quiet today, dana, as all this is going on. perhaps we'll hear more from him later, but we know we will hear from joe biden. he's planning to speak at 8:00 tonight. dana: he is. i think the president is letting his lawyers and spokespeople speak for him today. i think that's absolutely appropriate, responsible, the right thing to do at this moment, and i think that it was good that he

joe biden has done it. around the world. joe biden has done it. he will be the next president of the win the key states of pennsylvania and nevada. the president—elect will address the nation in a couple of hours. he says he is honoured and humbled. his running mate kamala harris becomes the first ever female vice president. we did it! we did it, joe. you're going to be the next president of the united states. mr biden and's supporters take to the streets in cities across america to celebrate. this, the scene in washington. meanwhile, president trump is back at the white house after playing a round of golf. he has claimed, again without evidence, that he won the election and his supporters are not losing hope. there are questions about some irregularities and the integrity of those results, and so, my hope for being here is to bring scrutiny to that process. welcome. joe biden has been elected the 46th president of the united states of america. the bbc projected a few hours ago that he crossed the threshold needed of 270 electoral couege threshold

biden is calling that an embarrassment.he secretary of state mike pompeo just went so far to say, i'm quoting him now, there will be a smooth transition to a second trump administration, closed quote. we are following breaking pandemic news. the u.s. death toll now topping 239,000 people with more than 10 million confirmed cases nationwide. and, tonight, not a single state, not a single state is trending in the right direction. but dr. anthony fauci is offering americans new hope telling cnn moments ago he believes a vaccine may be widely available by the end of april. let's begin our coverage on the late-breaking developments in the presidential transition. history unfolding right now. our political correspondent arlette saenz is joining us from wilmington, delaware. we heard from the president-elect of the united states just a while ago. >> reporter: that's right. president-elect joe biden is making it clear he is moving full speed ahead with his transition, even announcing roughly 500 people who will lead his transition

there isjoe biden.e biden did not leave the stage, taking questions from people in the audience. joe biden knows almost all the people in this parking lot, he knows people in delaware, in wilmington, he is a regularjoe, that is what he is known as. he is enjoying his moment of victory, as he should. he has tried to become president twice before and he has finally made it. at the age of 77. the family have all gone. he has a security around him. he will be followed with security for the rest of his life. former president of security for the rest of their lives. the stage is cleared, the families have gone. what you were saying, gary, about wondering what president trump isa wondering what president trump is a thinking, assuming he has been watching this, i spoke to a democratic specialist who said, there is this significant moment today, when you see these people celebrating around these people celebrating around the country and he was reminded of 2000 and how important it is, ina of 2000 and how importa

biden jr.. >> and so the man who will be 46 began behaving as the polar opposite of 45, taking on the pandemic and not down playing it. >> i will spare no effort, none, or any commitment to turn around this pandemic. >> trying to unite the country, not divide it. >> folks, i will work as hard for those who didn't vote for me as those who did. >> and charting the nation on a very different course. >> let this grim era of demonization in america begin to end here and now. ♪ bring me a higher love ♪ there's that higher love ♪ i keep thinking of ♪ ♪ bring me higher love [ cheers ] >>> there are a few first ladies who really are milestones, cultural milestones. who help us understand what's going on in larger society. >> it took me some time doing a little dreaming to be standing right here today. >> she hasn't forgotten that journey and the challenges that she faced. >> when you have worked hard and done well and walked through that doorway of opportunity, you do not slam it shut behind you. no, yo

biden.rats probably have a strong reason to feel confident about pennsylvania. georgia, we knowjoe biden has edged in front. he has a tiny lead of 1097 votes. 99% of the votes counted. if they were to fit that state that would be quite result for the democrats because they have won georgia since 1992. so let's have a look at the numbers. i'm going to use my blue pen. let's assumejoe i'm going to use my blue pen. let's assume joe biden gets i'm going to use my blue pen. let's assumejoe biden gets georgia, that leaves him one short of winning the presidency and at this stage donald trump cannot because of the numbers get to that magic 270, or that he can achieve is a draw withjoe biden. —— all. if the democrats turn pennsylvania blue, that is it, joe biden has done it, and he gets over the magic line. thanks forjoining us. the bbc‘s yalda hakim joins us from philadelphia, pennsylvania. lovely to see you. we have heard how important pennsylvania is. the pressure there right now must be unbeliev

mr biden will be the next president. well dr lark since 20161 of the main things the democrats have done the question the live the legitimacy of donald trump is point to foreign meddling do you think that with a biden presidency the script is going to be flipped or what do you think are the republicans just going to kind of drop that strategy. art the short answer is i don't know the longer more nuanced answer is i don't know but i have some ideas i think i don't think there's any doubt that governments outside the united states are very much interested in what takes place in the united states and i wouldn't be the least bit surprised to find out that governments including that of russia and the people's republic of china as well as iran have tried their hand to try to influence american american votes my personal opinion is that it's not going to have much impact the american people will decide what they want for our own parochial or provincial reasons so i doubt that any sort of effort even a sophisticated effort by th

well, we haven't stopped hearing about covid from joe biden. we have stopped hearing about covid from donald trump. he seems not to acknowledge it. as you point out, he's more concerned with fox news and how they treated him and their ratings, and what his own future might hold in terms of perhaps becoming a tv star, who knows? and potential presidential contender in 2024 than he is about making sure people do not continue to die from the virus. >> you know, bakari, one by one, we're beginning to hear from senators and others who say the transition now must move forward, at least when it comes to highly classified intelligence briefings for the preside president-elect. are the flood gates about to open as more and more republicans come to terms with reality? >> i'm not sure the flood gates will be open ed. you're going to have a lot of republicans who see that trumpism is the path to the 2024 election. a lot of people will stay extremely close to donald trump and trumpism. what we are seeing is that many united states senators, they're done wit

biden has a nbe

biden. what we have seen consistently is in this county and statewide, you see the president at 39% here in allegheny county, you see him at 49% when you go statewide. look, you see all the red. the president has strong support in pennsylvania. what we have seen consistently over now, the past three days, when they count the mail-in ballots, joe biden routinely disproportionately, his total statewide is 50. he'll get 60%, 70%, sometimes 80%. last night when they were bringing us votes, joe biden was consistently above 60% and 70%. why? democrats voted by mail in this unprecedented pandemic election. and republicans tended to turn out much more on election day. so what is left to count tells you we know it favors biden because that's how democrats voted. not just in pennsylvania, but across america. when you have more than 6.6 million cast, what we're looking for is just proof that this trajectory, slow build continues. because it will be a nary victory. for anyone out there saying wow, the p

election in favor of joe biden.n the content itself avoiding describing joe biden as president-elect. now that may have been an over sight. it may also reflect the close friendship with president trump. he and trump have regularly described the out going u.s. president as the best friend israel had in the white house. recognition of the fact that donald trump remains president of the united states and will be until bide b takes over in the new year. wanting to ensure he doesn't do anything to upset president trump. netanyahu and biden have been friends they go back four decades. i don't think it will damage relations between the two. biden described himself as a zionist and 1973 meeting with prime minister as one of the most consequential of his life. there's a good personal chemistry there. perhaps one lacking when president obama was in the white house and sometimes strained relations. two possible areas of disagreement. palestine and nuclear agreement. >> speak to those. how would israel react to a return to the

biden has, and biden got a new bump in nevada.ng to do the same thing in arizona, where new results are expected later today. let's go over to you heard live on cnn, an interview with the secretary of state giving you new information. here in pennsylvania, donald trump has 114,000-vote lead over joe biden. that's with 92% of the estimated vote in pennsylvania. they still need to be counted in pennsylvania. in order to overtake the lead. he has been gaining about 27% of the vote, running well ahead of what he need so this vote, joe biden has been getting 75% of them. so if he keeps up that pace he has the potential to overtake trump. in order to hang on to that lead, which he desperately needs to be reelected. there's no path without it. in nevada we heard from a clark county official there. we have a new estimate there of the outstanding vote. we got some new vote. 48.5% for donald trump. joe biden needs 44 to 47% of them. donald trump would need 52 to 54% of the outstanding votes in order to overtake biden's lead again, i will ju

biden jr. elected 46th president of the united states defeating defeating incumbent president donald j. trump. one of the most bitter races in modern history. >> biden turned 78 this month. will become the oldest person sworn into the office. his achievement capping four decades of public service and two previously unsuccessful runs for president. dr. jill biden tweeting out this photo today. doctor and the president live here, putting her hand over vice. making history, kamala harris, first person and woman of color to serve in the second highest auf office in this nation. >> we did it. we did it, joe. you're going to be the next president of the united states. >> we have seen jubilant crowds flooding the streets of cities. honking horns, choosing to end the volatile trump presidency and some cities in this country, you can feel the excitement people feel right now. >> yeah, that's certainly the case. president trump has told allies he has no plans to concede, no plans to invite to the white h

joe biden has just joe biden hasjust taken joe biden has just taken the lead.iden is winning the overwhelming share... this mightjust be the moment, the whole ballgame. the seemingly overwhelming lead that donald trump had in pennsylvania the day after the election this morning finally evaporated and has become a biden lead. if the democratic challenger wins here, it's game over for the president. pretty soon, the hyphen will be gone from vice—president to president—electjoe biden. it's a happy day for our country. and the march of the maths has been played out in small government buildings and windowless offices in arizona, pennsylvania, nevada and georgia. 1,000 votes here, a few hundred there, all the time chipping away at donald trump's grip on the white house. there will, though, be a recount in georgia, where margins are so tight. in pennsylvania today from the pro—joe biden supporters, the party has already started and yes, there will be dancing in the streets. donald trump, you have to give it up, man. it's over for you! but from donald trump supporters

deal, joe biden, then it is a done deal, joe biden, then it is a done deal, joe biden will be on coursebecome the next president of the united states. telling me baseball is more fun than politics in philadelphia, thank you. we were quoted bill clinton and i have yogi bear, the famous baseball player who simply said once, it ain't over, till it's over. ain't that true, james. i have consulted twitter because i am fed up consulted twitter because i am fed up of saying it is a nailbiter and we are hanging on the hair, whatever, down to the wire. the best a nswer whatever, down to the wire. the best answer i had back as an alternative was from anthony sullivan who said it is like approaching the final whistle, only to find extra time has been added. i promise my twitter followers i would say the winning answer, so there it is. does he get a free t—shirt? i will have the made up, it is a great idea. what should be the slogan? it is a new competition, james. it is. 0k, afew new competition, james. it is. 0k, a few hours behind us in washington is another state that is ina similar washington

if joe biden wins this state, joe biden is president of the united states. there's no other way around it. that's 20 electoral votes. he's at 253. the reality in pennsylvania is that it is not a matter of if joe biden is going to overtake donald trump, it is a matter of when. the biggest question right now, two things, one, how much vote in that can joe biden take, that 160,000 left outstanding. and two, is there anything donald trump do to stop a pretty fast-moving train heading his direction over the course of the last 24 hours. >> we know what he's trying to do. he has been up all night, and the more the vote has moved, the more virulent and violent the president has gotten in his tweeting, such that twitter has been flagging every other thing that he says, because it's so wildly off-base. but clearly the urgency is not missing him. harry enten, what is your analysis of where we are and and where we go and why? >> right. phil was saying, and i have it up object on the secretary of state's website, kate spoke about it as well, that there's a little bit nor

he wants to know, has joe biden called republicans, has joe biden called mitch mcconnell? >> first of all, lawrence, thanks for having me. i can't think of a better place to have my first interview. i appreciate it. joe biden has spoken to republicans, some republican senators, republican governors. i'm not going to go into names. he has not spoken to senator mcconnell. senator mcconnell seems to be insisting somehow that president trump won the election. he didn't. there will be a time and a place for joe biden and senator mcconnell to talk. they obviously need no introduction to one another. they have worked together. they have fought each other, worked together and fought each other over the decades. they'll have a working relationship when the time comes, so i think that will all proceed forward in a very fine efficient way. >> because of the weirdness of this transition, i'm going to ask you some questions about these calls that we normally wouldn't care about. did the republican senators call joe biden, or did joe biden call the republican senators? >> i think there'

they need to match biden and they need to do better than biden.money than you can even imagine dumped into these races. these will be with two candidates in the special election. these two races will determine who has the majority in the senate. the amount of money that comes in here but also what is the interest for vote erts? are the voters here after they may have helped elect the president of the united states going the care about a 50/50 senate? i think that's right. are these college educated white voters in the atlantic suburbs who shifted so significantly against donald trump, was it more of a anti-trump movement or a pro democratic turnout? if these are real democratic voters, i think it's a real potential for a real race down there in the senate races that we simply haven't seen in a long time. the interesting element, my day job is on capitol hill. in talking to senate republican operatives, they feel like they're going to be in very good shape here. they feel like they're going to have more money than anybody and their voters will unde

and yes the truth of the you shall joe biden as the next president was the well biden has struck a conciliatory tone president donald trump has been defiant and even refused to concede he's also threatened a legal challenge to the vote count but once biden becomes president he'll likely face a divided congress ballots are still being counted the democrats are likely to retain control of the house of representatives while republicans could keep their majority in the senate making it difficult to advance his policies let's have a look at how biden plans to reshape u.s. foreign policy he wants to reverse trump's controversial america 1st agenda and restore washington's role on the world stage and his promise to repair relations with europe and opposes brags that biden intends to rejoin the 2015 nuclear deal with iran return to the paris climate accord and restore u.s. membership in the world health organization he insists he'll take a much harder line on russia and be tough on china while maintaining cooperation with beijing on several issues biden says he'll only initiate talks with north korea's

michigan, biden leads, wisconsin we project to biden already. made donald trump president. let's move up michigan. look, and it's very close here, right? if you look at these numbers, 49.5 to 48.8%. trump thinks he can come back here. he needs about 59%. the issue is where they are. by circles here is population, and we are told by the secretary of state, wayne county, heavily democratic. joe biden getting 60% of the vote. we'll count them. sometimes you're surprised. history tells us they will be predominantly democratic votes, and that's why the biden campaign is confident about its math there and also why it's critical we advance that math throughout the day. other places we're told where these votes are. we're told genesra genesee coune flipping that one. in cal -- kalamazoo, we know there are some votes to be counted in kent county. that's grand rapids here. you see the red here and your first instinct is the president might pick up some votes here, and that's poossible, but we do know the votes to be counted are here in the city of grand r

would take california, joe biden would ta ke california, joe biden would take new york.ld predict that really decided which way the selection went and with the hours that followed the pulse closing, the news was better for president trump. he took florida early on and later on ohio and iowa. he also took taxes which the biden campaign had given some attention to but thatis had given some attention to but that is really where the good news stopped for president trump. then the biden campaign started getting better news. we know there was a huge focus on the midwest. ellery clinton lost all them key states in the midwest. joe biden was to try and win them back —— hillary clinton the sophist took wisconsin, he took michigan, he was on 253 lateral college votes a nd was on 253 lateral college votes and needed 17 more to become president. there were various routes, nevada, arizona, or simply through the state where he grew up, pennsylvania. he grew up in scranton. a few hours ago, that's what happened. he took pennsylvania, that took him over 273. we're still waiting on some

biden by 19 points. they have a similarly lopsided preference in florida where he leads by 17 points. the advantage with people who sat out 2016 is 12 points in pennsylvania, seven points in arizona. the trump campaign tells us they've registered people who didn't play in 2016. they're going to overwhelm us on election day, but you say so far the evidence points the other way. >> i think it points the new voters are showing up to support joe biden more than they are donald trump. and we see it in our new survey today as you pointed out. i saw it last week in texas. i was in three different parts of that state, and talked to over 50 voters at early polling sites. the new voters are overwhelmingly young and not white. they're not showing up for donald trump. i think it's pretty clear that the people who are coming into the political system are doing so out of opposition to this president more than to rej stir their support. i think it's important to keep in mind for listeners, the owness here is on preside

joe biden. these are the mail-in ballots, democrats voted by mail, joe biden has been winning. percentages like that, above 70% in all these counties in southeaste southeastern, pennsylvania. this is philadelphia. montgomery county, 95%. bucks county, 49.9 to 48.9. that's the most conservative of the suburbs. they're up to 89%. look at chester county, up to 95%. what we're waiting for most is the city of philadelphia. joe biden getting about 80% of the vote and they still have votes to count. big potential for joe biden and again if you're at 253, pennsylvania's 20 would put you over the top. we'll watch that as the count continues there. if joe biden can't get pennsylvania he needs two, and one of them we're watching is georgia. late on election night, tuesday night, donald trump was pulling out to what we thought was an impressive lead but as they count the mail-in ballots, especially, you see a lot of red. the president runs it up in rural georgia as he does many a see cities and suburbs in t

i think biden was the best choice. there were i said, too many flaws in this man, not only personal but the things he did, not standing up for people of color, loving to make divisions, not paying his taxes. i'm a schoolteacher, so i am so happy we do have someone in the white house, the first lady, who is an educator to see what we are going through. maybe we can have education reform and some kind of way she can get involved in helping us develop a better school system so we are number one, not down in the bottom 50. i am so happy he's in the white house, and i know this country is going to come together, and just like he said, he lives in a subdivision. i do too. i have white neighbors. i have hispanic neighbors. we are all together here. i know what he's talking about, and i can relate to biden. i could never relate to a millionaire like trump. his whole attitude -- people say it's about jobs? sure, we all had jobs, and i know he's going to make it better. pay so we canthe all make this country a much better place.

eminent said that he has got to gather the very best people around him biden has got to get rid of the people who have been giving the american public bad advice and not following the course of science and he has got to use all the powers of persuasion at his disposal to try to speak to the american people to try to get them to understand that this is a disease that is extremely deadly stream li infectious and needs to be taken extremely seriously and that means wearing masks. doing all the protocols of social distancing that we've all heard of 10000000 times by now and that's as biden said his his task number one everything flows from that the economy flows from there and calming the political waters in the country i think also flows from that so it's going to be a long. couple of i think 8 weeks or so or more until november 20th and we'll see how that goes. for us live from los angeles many thanks when leaders from around the wells have been sending their congratulations to joe biden let's begin in europe where german chancellor angela merkel issued a statement saying that she looks
